The Wii U may be able to handle current-gen ports, but will anyone actually care?
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
I agree. Even with people who buy more than one console I can't see many choosing the Wii U version of Call of Duty or Tekken when both have established player bases elsewhere.
The Wii proves how much Nintendo software can dominate the gaming market.
Weather third party titles will sell on the console or not, is completely up to the developers(and how innovative they can be with the Wii U controller).
I think these controllers are getting way too big and bulky, whatever happened to the good old grey original nintendo controller? Add a few more buttons along the side and its good to go.
I don't know and I can't speak for everyone, like these types of articles try to do. But what I do know is, me personally, I intend to get one. Any new franchise that comes out, I'll pick it up for the Wii U and also pick up any games I've missed that might actually be ported over onto the Wii U, especially if they have a significantly cheap price tag or some great deal of a package.
Can we atleast save the gloom and doom articles until post launch
